Airdrie United have had an up and down start to their season. They have had three good wins separated by two cup defeats away from home to Third Division Queens Park and East Stirlingshire. The Lanarkshire club is one of three First Division clubs with six points from the opening two league fixtures. In doing so they have scored six goals and conceded only one.
The Pars had a disappointing result last Saturday when they lost 1-0 to Partick, so they will be hoping to get back on track against the team that was preparing for Division Two until The Rangers ended up in the Third Division.
